Take a Break: Be a Microtourist for the Day

The difference between a “staycation”-staying home and lounging around in your PJs watching Netflicks, while eating potato chips- and being a “microtourist,” is that you leave your house and approach your neighborhood and community as a tourist. What are the hidden gems you may have never noticed or tried?

Three simple steps to get started:

Step 1: Do a Google search to see what’s recommended for visitors to your area; stop by your town’s “welcome center” and check the brochure rack; or check for interesting stories in local papers.

Step 2: Pick a place or activity you’ve never done before.

Step 3: Go do it.
